Join us for a free author event at the Brainerd Public Library! Meet the author, hear their work, and ask questions. On Monday, June 24, Joe Friedrichs will discuss his work, "Last Entry Point: Stories of Danger and Death in the Boundary Waters."The book shares tales of tragedy and near-tragedy in the Boundary Waters while offering guidance on how to avoid worst-case scenarios. Paddlers and hikers planning an excursion into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park—that storied region along the Minnesota–Ontario border made up of rock, water, and pine—usually conjure visions of sunny days, pleasant breezes, and starry nights. Though every guidebook advises being prepared, most adventurers escaping to these remote areas assume that all will be well. But even those who are thoroughly prepared—who wear their life jacket and scrupulously map their route and scan the skies for impending weather—may still encounter the unexpected. And in those cases, being ready for anything can mean the difference between a memorable trip and a life-changing, or life-ending, event.
Bring your own brown bag lunch, or just enjoy the light refreshments provided by the Friends of the Brainerd Public Library.
